Services set for Pawling H.S. senior killed in car accident

Services will be held later this week for a Pawling High School senior killed in a single-car crash Sunday.

Kevin Taylor, 17, of Holmes was pronounced dead at the scene after he lost control of his vehicle on Route 292 in Holmes, near the Dutchess County line, around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office said.

A preliminary investigation found Taylor lost control of his 2004 Subaru Impreza while maneuvering a turn. His vehicle spun, went off the road, and struck a utility pole and trees, Sheriff's Office Capt. John Watterson said Monday.

Two passengers in Taylor's vehicle at the time of the crash - Emily Ketchum, 18, and Kendal Spray, 17 - were treated at Danbury Hospital in Danbury, Conn., for injuries that weren't life-threatening, authorities said.

All three occupants were wearing seat belts, according to police.

Calling hours for Taylor will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday at Horn & Thomes Inc. Funeral Home in Pawling.

A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 39 E. Main St., Pawling.
